]]> If there’s one thing that’s typical of a Dahab evening, it’s this. Sitting on cushions, looking out over the Red Sea…

Cushions and rocks leading out to sea in Dahab, Egypt.

At least one cat under the low table…

Cat lounging on carpets in Dahab, Egypt.

A cold beer on it…
Egyptian Stella beer on the table.

And the mountains of Saudi glowing pink with heat across a millpond sea.

I finally took the step of upgrading from the kit lens on my camera, partly cos I broke it. I took these with a fixed lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Mk IICanon EF 50mm f/1.8 Mk II.

It cost just over $100, and chatters a bit, as you’d expect at the price, but goes all the way down to 1.8, and the bokeh and the colours are just lovely.
